📋 Description

• Own the company's technical accounting function—leading U.S. GAAP research, policy development, and audit-ready documentation—while setting the financial reporting roadmap and ensuring technical conclusions are sound, scalable, and aligned with business strategy. • Lead core accounting operations end-to-end, including payroll accounting, order-to-cash, close governance, and reconciliations—ensuring accuracy, strong controls, and continuous acceleration of cycle time. • Own international accounting and tax compliance operations—spanning multi-currency consolidation, intercompany eliminations, statutory reporting, and domestic and cross-border tax filings—while serving as a key liaison to external auditors and tax advisors. • Build, coach, and develop a high-performing accounting team—establishing clear standards, scalable playbooks, and a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement. • Drive accounting transformation through process standardization, automation, and responsible AI adoption—building a faster, more scalable finance function without sacrificing controls or auditability. • Establish and continuously strengthen the internal controls environment—designing, documenting, and maintaining SOPs, control frameworks, and process standards across accounting operations—ensuring controls are audit-ready, scalable, and evolve alongside business growth and emerging risk areas. • Drive SOX readiness through control design, scoping, and deficiency remediation, while championing SOP adoption across the team through structured training, clear ownership, and a culture of continuous improvement.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including significant leadership experience across technical accounting, financial reporting, controls, and operational accounting • CPA license (required) with public accounting experience, preferably Big 4 or national firm, with additional experience in a technology, SaaS, or similarly complex business environment • Deep technical accounting expertise and a demonstrated track record of translating complex U.S. GAAP guidance into practical, scalable business applications • Proven experience preparing, reviewing, and approving technical accounting memos, accounting policies, audit support, reporting deliverables, and executive-level accounting conclusions • Excellence in leading and developing team members, setting review standards, coaching technical judgment, and building repeatable operating practices across accounting or reporting functions • Hands-on working knowledge of month-end close, reconciliations, flux analysis, journal entry review, accruals, and intercompany activity—as well as direct experience implementing new tools and accounting, and tax compliance operations • Exceptional communication and cross-functional influence skills, with the ability to explain technical accounting risks and recommendations clearly to finance and non-finance leaders alike • Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where priorities shift and success requires strategic judgment, practical decision-making, hands-on execution, and disciplined follow-through • A bias toward action and continuous improvement, with practical interest and judgment in using AI, automation, and systems-enabled workflows to improve accounting quality, controls, and scalability
